There was the Prince of Wales Foundry in Shipley, which closed approx 1891, lay empty for two years, and then was sold and renamed the Canal Iron Works.

But I can't find anything about the history of the Prince of Wales Foundry, so don't know who the pre-1893 owners were.

What makes you think the foundry was in Shipley?

He may have lived in Shipley but worked in Stanningley.
They are only about 5 miles apart.

What documentation gave you the information about the family foundries?

Perhaps we could look at that to find further clues.

2In 1781, much of the area was moorland, though a few inclosures had been made (Silson 2015). A few buildings bordered the turnpike road that linked Leeds and Bradford. All the remaining moor was inclosed in 1799. Shortly before, Joseph Strickland had erected probably the first steam-powered mill in Bramley (Jenkins 1975; Strong 2008) It was built in the extreme west of the area, and over time was named as Company Mill, Temperance Mill, and finally Spring Valley Mill. When it was first recorded, in 1794, it must have seemed that Stanningley was destined to become yet another West Riding textile village. And indeed in the nearby Pudsey part of Stanningley, other textile mills were built (Strong 2008).However, the industrial future of the area near Stanningley Town Street lay in engineering. This industry started when John Rogers from Bradfordbuilt a small foundry just east of Company Mill just before 1827 (WRRD 1827). Unfortunately Rogers soon died and his widow, Elizabeth, sold the foundry to Charles Haley, Jonas Haley, George Taylor and Joseph Butler in 1830 (WRRD 1830). Jonas soon left the partnership probably to continue to work an existing foundry (Parson and White 1830). In 1838 Haley’s business was said to be in the Pudsey part of Stanningley (White 1838). In 1834, the three remaining partners of Stanningley Iron Works appointed a young man, only twenty-four years old and called Joseph Pitts, as a book-keeper (Grace’s Guide

Mention of family burials here..........

Have you looked for a Will of John, which would probably mention any property?
Do you have reason to think that he actually owned a foundry?
